TNMG160412-MS US735
Mitsubishi Materials | The Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Specialist
The Mitsubishi TNMG160412-MS US735 is a high-toughness CVD coated carbide insert engineered for aggressive stainless steel turning. With its reinforced 1.2mm nose radius, it is specifically built to withstand massive thermal shocks and mechanical impacts. As a premier long-tail precision tool, the US735 grade combined with the MS chipbreaker provides industry-leading reliability during heavy interrupted CNC machining of austenitic alloys.

US735 Tough-Grade Carbide
The US735 grade is Mitsubishi's dedicated indexable turning insert for difficult stainless steel. Its unique coating layer prevents chemical reactions between the tool and the workpiece, drastically reducing built-up edge (BUE). It is the "safety-first" grade for heavy roughing where tool breakage is not an option.
MS Low-Force Chipbreaker
The MS chipbreaker is optimized for medium-light cutting depth but excels in 1.2mm radius configurations. It features a sharp cutting edge that slices through gummy alloys, ensuring effective chip control and lowering the spindle load, which prevents vibration during deep passes.
